How You Can Contribute to WordPressNile Flores

WordPress has been built by hundreds of volunteers around the world. I’m not just talking about the code and design itself, but also themes, plugins, documentation, tutorials, and more. The community itself benefits from the free time that you can give. It doesn’t have to be much, and sometimes doesn’t require a ton of skill, except knowing WordPress. I know WordCamp attendees have a specific purpose to attend for specific topics, but if you’ve ever thought about giving back to the WordPress community, but not sure about how, THIS would be the presentation to sit in on.

Beg, Borrow or Steal: The Art of Flashing Without Flashingspjwebster

HTML5 is awesome. Well, it will be awesome when it\'s finally ready. Probably. The bad news is that by the time the W3C have finished monkeying with HTML5, I\'ll probably have given up on the web as a whole and taken up meat goat farming. The good news (for you, me and the goats) is that there\'s no need to wait for a lot of the functionality that HTML5 promises; we can start using them right now. In this session I\'m going to show you how you can steal these features from the Flash Player and use them in your standards-based sites or applications, without even a sniff of Flash on the page.

Basic PowerShell Toolmaking - Spiceworld 2016 sessionRob Dunn

PowerShell is everywhere. Admit it, even if you don't like change, you've probably needed to run a one-off command or small script in order to accomplish something...whether it was in AD, Exchange, VMWare or something else. Running a single command is one thing, but what about making a reusable piece of code that anyone can run, or even better, schedule it? Get a report every Monday about drive space, remove old log files every month, report on logon failures... We're going to take a command that fulfills a 'single-serving' role and turn it into something more dynamic; something that can be run over and over and be both relevant and timely! Be ready to learn about parameters, basic functions, comment-based help, and other useful techniques - bring your laptop and code along with us! Let's build a PowerShell tool!

Crazy Incentives and How They Kill Security. How Do You Turn the Wheel?Christian Folini

Everybody is driven by incentives. Good incentives persuade us to do the right thing and patch our servers. Bad incentives make us eat unhealthy food and follow stupid security practices. There is a huge resource problem in IT, especially in the IT security industry. Therefore, you would expect people to pay attention to the existing incentives and the ones they create with their budget allocation, their awareness training, their security reports, etc. But reality paints a different picture: Bad incentives all around! We see insane security practices eating valuable time and online training annoying corporate users. But it's even worse. I've come across incentives that lure companies into creating bad products, and I've seen companies create products that incentivize their customers to waste their time. It takes people like you and me to say "NO" and stand up for real security!

Harmonizing Multi-Agent Intelligence | Open Data Science Conference | Gary Ar...Gary Arora

This deck from my talk at the Open Data Science Conference explores how multi-agent AI systems can be used to solve practical, everyday problems — and how those same patterns scale to enterprise-grade workflows. I cover the evolution of AI agents, when (and when not) to use multi-agent architectures, and how to design, orchestrate, and operationalize agentic systems for real impact. The presentation includes two live demos: one that books flights by checking my calendar, and another showcasing a tiny local visual language model for efficient multimodal tasks. Key themes include: ✅ When to use single-agent vs. multi-agent setups ✅ How to define agent roles, memory, and coordination ✅ Using small/local models for performance and cost control ✅ Building scalable, reusable agent architectures ✅ Why personal use cases are the best way to learn before deploying to the enterprise
